BMD: Blue Moon Dragon

I'm not sure if I am confusing this with another place, but does this forum use the term "FOYed"? The act of putting a dragon in the Fountain of Youth.

[Bloodstone]

Added BMD.

Your post above is the first instance I can find of FOYed showing up on the forum, but I might add it anyhow

Should probably define "Turbo Babies" now that I think about it...

Wow thanks! I actually never had an idea what OP actually stood for, even though I always knew what it meant.

We do take a lot for granted when trying to communicate with each other.

BS has done a masterful job with his creation.

Actually, there is one thing that I'm confused about. In some places I see people talking about "party hats and speedups" I know what party hats are, but speedups? Is that the act of speeding up something with gems? And if so, how is that associated with party hats?

Oooops, that was me not logged in.

Speedups are part of Gizmnauts not Dragonvale. While there are strongly similarities between the two games, this is one of the points of difference. In addition to gifting three crystals a day - no equivalent to the dragonsai tree - when visiting to collect cash, you can speed up one park activity for your friend per day. To use the DV terminology, you can speed up food production, the collesseum, habitat construction, obstruction clearance and breeding, but not incubation. The speedup up amounts to roughly 25% of the time left, so it is very worthwhile for a 7 day (!!!) activity, but not so much for a 30 minute one.

Dont know if you want to add "park value" to the lexicon. And also, we have hybrid, and tribrid but we dont have one for a dragon w/ four elements, i.e Cotton.

[wapatango]

Would that be a quabrid?

I might add park value.

There's no term for four element dragons yet because no one has come up with a name that has actually stuck...

Yes it would And amazing work on the lexicon btw. It was especially useful for me to understand all the "2+1"s, and "3+2+1"s etc. in the LAST CALL competition. I also now get why people are calling the DRD "Doctor"

[flutterbye]

Quadbrid?

[Artkat]

Aw man. When I suggested Tribrid as a term back in like May, someone had something I liked better than Quadbrid for four element hybrids and now I can't remember what it was. I'm using 4ED as shorthand for now.

[ElektronX]

That reminds me, but I think that there have been a lot of new "magical" terms since the new update. Such as magic grinding, MP(?), etc.

[Bloodstone]

I was a bit reluctant to add a ton of the new terms for the Rift Event since we didn't know if it was going to last for more than a month... but maybe I'll just put them in a seperate section... I'll try to get around to it by the weekend.

[ElektronX]

I remember an older saying, "Beating the game..." but never really understood what it was meant for. Anyone have an explanation?

[lordofthevale]

"The 'Vale" referring to the entire kingdom of DragonVale. I know it is rather self explanatory, but I still believe it to be worthy of The Lexicon

[dragonslay]

I was very grateful for the DVsandbox I used it to find out what dragons to breed together to get the gem dragons and epic dragons.
If it were not for the sandbox I doubt I would been able to breed every dragon that has been available. now i can breed them for my egg collection.

I'm not confused!

I mean, not really.

Okay, I guess sometimes... but generally speaking, I know exactly what I mean when I think it, it just sometimes gets jumbley wumbley between my brain things and my finger bits...
